This research statistical population was constituted from departmental managers and personnel of Shahid Rajaie hospital in Shiraz city whose was equal to 138 and according to Cochran formula; the sample content was calculated persons who were selected by simple sampling method and participated in the study. The questionnaire reliability was confirmed by Cronbach alpha coefficient. Modeling of structural equations was used for testing hypothesis and responding to the study questions. In this study, a main hypothesis and 6 secondary hypotheses were considered that after statistical analysis, the results showed that all the study hypotheses have been confirmed and there is a significant relation between information technology and promoting services quality. Keywords: information technology, services quality, Shahid Rajaie hospital INTRODUCTION Information is one of the most valuable entries of every organization. Valuable information causes increasing of certainty and stability of human resources and its shortage results in instability and unreliability in the organization. Today, information are kept and processed in organizations through information technology (HaghshenasKashaniat.al, 1393). Information technology management in simple sense means the ability, skill and utilizing digital tools ( software and hardware equipment) for producing, processing, maintaining, collecting, storing, protecting, distributing, transferring and retrieving data and information in a safe and secure form for improving the organization performance status ( Ahmadabadiat.al, 1392). In other words, managing the study, designing, developing, implementing, supporting or managing information systems based on computer science especially software and hardware by observing security affairs on infrastructure beds along with affairs of data transfer and publication and information is called information technology management. Information technology management requires management of general information and also relating to information technology, experience in human resources affairs, having working respective spirit along with responsibility acceptance in management position, perception of technology rapid changes and its impacts on business surrounding and environment (Barrosat.al, 2015). Information technology establishes the relation between personnel and enables them. the capacity of enabling and establishing the relation between the personnel between offices and sections through resources of information base, long distance meetings and conferences, electronic post and achieving information efficiency and information synergy are among main advantages of using information technology in the organization. 273
2 In the present organizations in which information technology and communications are completely dominant, the performance issue has undergone change and evolution. Each organization performance is dependent to that organization human sources performance and their interaction with available resources, facilities and technology in the organization (Jamaliat.al, 1392). On the other hand, human resources performance is dependent to their motivation and ability. Their human resources ability is dependent to occupational knowledge and skill in using the mentioned knowledge in performing occupational duties and activities. Human resources motivation is dependent to their attitude, condition and situation in which they are working. Today, the organizations consider information technology a tool by which aid improve the people performance and adjust to changes (Azhar, 2015). But, for these organizations to make their personnel performance more effective and efficient in respect of training and expert level, they should encourage their personnel to use technology in level with technology changes speed, on the other hand, information technology facilities managers' roles and duties. Access to required information for decision making, control and supervising on the organizations and processes, the possibility of analyzing conditions and analysis in acquiring decisions planning and simulation may have considerable impacts on information technology existence in the organization (TavasoliShakib, 1379). 2- Topical literature 1-2. What is technology? Different definitions are provided for technology, some of which are mentioned in this section: * Technology is a series of processes, methods, techniques, tools, equipment, machineries and skills by which stuff is made or provided. * Technologyincludes sciences utilization in industries using oriented and regular studies and procedures. * Science examines physical and natural behaviors by nature study and seeks to discover phenomena, while technology provides man required services and stuff using scientific ideas and achievements. * Technology is the operant of turning natural resources, asset and human resources to stuff and services whose pillars or constituting elements include: hardware, human-ware or specialized human force, technology crystalized in documents or information and organizations or org-ware (Acar&Uzunlar, 2014). 2-2 What is information? There are several definitions from information, some of which are based on meaning (semantic) and some are based on quantity. Some of these definitions include: According to the definition of ELE lexicon, information includes all ideas, realities and mind creative works which are recorded, published or distributed formally or informally and in each state and they may be documentary or unofficial (Alraja&Alomian, 2013). Based on Mark standard, documentary information is in one of the following forms: * Books: text materials which are as single mapping. * Consequences: text materials which are repeated regularly like periodical publications * Maps: geographical cases like flat maps or spheres. * Computer files: are used in various computers and software. * Audio and visual cases: includes audio information, audio cassette and images * Combined states: is a combination of the above cases. In definition based on information theory, information is a quantity which is measured by bits and then is defined based on possibilities of symbols emerging. In informatics dictionary, information includes a series of letter or symbol digital elements which has an evident and distinct notion and could be exposed to automatic process (Ajami& Arab-Chadegani, 2014). 3-2 Information technology concept Regarding the definitions of technology and information several definitions have been provided for information technology, among which we can say that information technology: * Is an incorporation of transmission achievements, methods and approaches of problem solving and leadership ability using computer knowledge (Malekiat.al, 1392) * Contains issues relating to advanced subjects of computer science and technology, computer designing, information systems implementing and its application (Malekiat.al, 1392). * Is an incorporation of traditional computer knowledge and information technology for storing, processing and exchanging any type of data ( including text, sound, image and so on) ( Fazlzadehat.al, 1393). * Is a general word which is used for extending electronic services and products resulting from transmission and computer renovations ( GholipourKananiat.al, 1392). * Is a series of hardware, software and mind-ware which makes using information possible (Habibi&Saiedi, 1391). 274
3 * Includes all technology forms which are used for creating, storing and using different forms if information including commercial information, vocal conversations, moving images and multimedia data ( Javidi&Esmaielpour, 1393). Information technology is a branch of technology which makes possible the studying and using data and its process in fields of storing, manipulating, transferring, managing, controlling and data preparation automatically using hardware, software and net-ware. The term information technology is repeatedly used in new and modern fields in different meanings. Maybe it could be said that the only agreement which exist on its meaning is that information technology is a hot issue (Chugh et.al, 2013). 4-2 Quality concept Services quality is a relatively young scientific course and about two decades is passing from research in this context (Ajer, 2015). This word has different meanings for various people, then in the first step of improving services quality, we should have a clear perception of quality concept. Moreover, quality definition is not only significant in semantic respect but more importantly it will be director of personnel efforts for reaching higher quality services. * Quality includes readiness of service or stuff for user which in itself requires designing quality, adaption, accessibility and appropriateness of service provision location. * Quality doesn't have any meaning except what the customer really wants. In other words, a high quality product should be defined as the product adaption with the customer demand. * International standards organization defines quality as follows: all features and specifications of the product or service which have the ability to meet the customer's needs (Alhawari&Alryalat, 2015). 5-2 Quality concept This word has different meanings and includes a range of personal services as a product. This word even contains a wider domain. Due to this same span and complexity, during 60s to 80s a wide range of definitions has been provided relating to service, yet no universal definition was provided from service. By this description, here some definitions are pointed: * Service: an activity or profit which is offered by one part to the other and is mainly inappreciable and doesn't include the possession of nothing, the result maybe a physical or non-financial product ( Katler, 1389). * Service is the result which is demanding by customers (Katler, 1389). * Service is profit production mainly intangible or automatically as an individual product or important element of tangible product which is meets the customer identified need trough a form of exchange (Tseng &Wu, 2014). 3- Research method This study is enumerated among descriptive survey studies in respect of data collecting method. In descriptive studies, the scholar is seeking the quality of the issue which includes collecting information for testing the hypothesis or answering questions relating the present status of studied issue (Sarmad et.al, 1385). This research statistical population includes managers and departmental personnel of ShahidRajaie Hospital in Shiraz city who were 138 persons that according to Cochran formula the research sample was considered. For data collecting a questionnaire was used. The respective questionnaire was constituted from 42 questions and two parts. Services quality was assessed by 6 criteria of services physical quality, services warranty, communion, reliability and access and information technology variable was analyzed by 6 questions. And finally, for this research data analysis, first data were arranged and classified using Excel software and then they were analyzed using Lisrel software. It should be mentioned that the questionnaire reliability has been assessed by advisor professor and its validity was evaluated by Cronbach alpha and its results are stated in table 1. Regarding the following results, the questionnaire questions have required validity. Table 1. The questionnaire validity components total questionnaire Cronbach alpha The research data analysis 4-1. Fitness test of conceptual model The aim of evaluating the total model fitness is to specify that to what extent the total used model does have consistency and adaption with experimental data. There is a wide series of criteria and indicators of suitability which could be used for measuring total model fitness. 275

Then, regarding the obtained results, it is suggested that the managers of Shiraz Rajaie hospital to increase the promotion level of using information technology in this hospital with more attention to information technology concepts and its applications. Today, providing suitable and appropriate services is considered among the most important concerns of service organizations. It should be noticed that one of important components about increasing the customers' satisfaction level to service providers' organizations like hospital is speed in receiving services form the organization. In this regard, today, most service provider organizations are moving towards becoming electronic and more usage of information technology in various dimensions. In the next part, some suggestions are provided with the aim of improving conditions of using information technology in Shiraz ShahidRajaie hospital. * Notice to this point is necessary that information technology increases the quality of providing physical services provision in the hospital. In this respect, we can point to establishing electronic round in the hospital clinic, determining future rounds, referring the physicians non- personally. * Among other advantages of information technology, we can point to increasing the reliability of services providers systems. By extension of using information technology, human mistakes are reduced and besides increasing services provision speed, the possibility of mistake error is decreased to great extent. * Today, the rate of access to services is one of effective factors in increasing clients' satisfaction level from service provider organizations. Utilizing systems based on information technology and increasing non-personal services provision, besides increasing clients' access level to presentable services, will result in their satisfaction.
